Scattering Kindness: A 31 Day Adventure

Scroll down for the Landing Page (aka Table of Contents) for 2018 #Write31Days Series.

Do you ever do special projects for your birthday? I.e. Folks will collect money for a charity or accomplish 30 things by the time they are 30.

I like to do things involving my birthday years.

I read 58 books when I was 58.

I watched 59 musicals when I was 59.

This year I want to do 60 Intentional and/or Random Acts of Kindness (RAK’s).

I think it is important to do acts of kindness, intentional and random. These acts cheer up others and sometimes provide some much-needed help. It helps our world to be a nicer place. It helps me to be a nicer person.

RAK’s and I have history. These are meaningful actions that make individual and global differences.

Remember there’s no such thing as a small act of kindness. Every act creates a ripple with no logical end. Scott Adams

This year for #Write31Days, I am doing my series on acts of kindness, intentional and random. The title is Scattering Kindness: a 31 Day Adventure.

Doing 31 acts of kindness for this series will help me get half of my birthday list done. And hopefully I will discover that this time of focused energy will make me and my world different.

“Your one random act of kindness may not change the world but it might make a difference in the life of someone today” ~ Maria Koszler

Below is a brainstormed list of kind acts of service. They are not in any particular order. What should I add to this list? I want to do 60 by the end of March 2019. As I complete and write about an intentional or random act of service, the link will go live.

This post is part of #Write31Days where bloggers write every day in October on one topic. I am writing about Acts of Kindness, random and otherwise. By November, it will be interesting to see if I am different and/or my community is different. To see what other bloggers are doing, go here.

I totally love the birthday goal idea. I’m going to be thinking about how I could do that, but I would have to do 65 this year.Guess I better do 66 next year. My time is running out for this year. Your idea for the 31-day Write is awesome. I’ll be looking forward to the suggestions you make!

I like walking alone from choice. but it’s amazing how many people walk alone because they are lonely; don’t just pass people by, always say hello, you will often others be pleased and want to chat, and appreciate your time.
